  • Our Tour Experience

    We thought the price was too much, especially considering it was an older, dated facility. It felt like the 80s and didn’t offer as much as other places we looked at. So the value wasn’t there. The people were really nice, and they promised they were going to update the facility. The rooms just felt closed in. We ended up elsewhere with higher ceilings and overall a newer, nicer, more inviting feel.

  • The Place to Get Older

    They're the most friendly staff I've ever experienced. They're so helpful. It tears my eyes to think of all they've done for my loved one. I think everything looks really clean, and they really try to keep an organized, welcoming environment. Cleanliness is important to me, so I pay a lot of attention to that. The food is good, and they have a good variety. The kitchen is kept clean, and the kitchen team is just amazing. Overall they provide a good amount of activities. I think with Covid, things have been a little bit slow, but I can still see the effort to get people out of their rooms. A little bit more activities would be great now that Covid is settling. I understand that it's independent living, but I think there's a lot of opportunity there for even more community events.

  • Terrific Facility and Staff

    My mother [name removed] lived in University House for three years until we had to move her to Spokane to be closer to another family member. [name removed] loved living at University House and especially enjoyed the other residents and activities there. In particular, she enjoyed the wonderful swimming pool, current events lectures and bridge games. I was so impressed by the caring staff, all of whom took the time to get know my mom and offer help and caring support as needed. The executive director is exceptional and ran the community with care and concern, while always available to our family when we had questions or needed extra assistance.
